Description

  The present invention relates to an underwater column construction method and a cement-based cured product for underwater construction that can be used in the construction method. For example, it can be used when a column is constructed and reinforced in water to prevent the collapse of underground space made by quarrying.

  In places where high-quality stones can be collected, large cavities have been created underground due to mining, and a collapse accident caused by this has become a problem.

  Measures such as filling the cavity with concrete are taken as a method to prevent such collapse, but most of the cavity is submerged, requiring a large-scale work and costly. ing.

  To solve this problem, it is conceivable to construct a pillar made of cement-based hardened material to support the ground above the cavity. However, if the cavity is submerged as described above, a formwork is assembled in the water and underwater concrete is cast. It is not easy to install.

  On the other hand, as described in Patent Document 1, the inventors of the present application are concerned with a grout material filled in a sheath mainly for protecting PC steel used for introducing prestress in a concrete structure. Addition of additives such as clay additive to grout material mainly composed of water and cement, viscosity is high enough not to cause poor filling such as pre-flow under atmospheric pressure, viscosity is low and high under pressure We are developing grout materials with thixotropic properties that have fluidity.

  In that case, the flow value of a flow test using a JIS standard flow cone is 100 to 200 mm, and the flow time of the grout material when a pressure of 0.1 MPa is applied is 0.5 to 3. The viscosity of the grout material is adjusted to be 0 seconds.

  In Patent Document 2, as a cavity filling material suitable for filling a back surface of a tunnel or the like, and retaining the back wall of a retaining wall, a revetment, etc., having fluidity and solidification, and excellent in water separation resistance, Main ingredients are fly ash, slag, incineration ash, clay, earth-generated sand, silica sand, etc., and this is combined with calcium-based hardened material such as cement or lime, gypsum, slag and water, and bentonite and a small amount of water absorption. It is described that, for example, a flowable resin, a caking property, and an underwater resistance are imparted by adding a functional resin, and used as a cavity filler or a backfill material.

  In addition, Patent Document 3 describes a high water inseparability even when used for injection into a cavity in which water exists, in particular, a marine structure such as a revetment wall, a port structure or the like in a cavity or gap in contact with seawater. As a grout material for underwater construction having high thixotropy, it contains cement, water, crosslinked acrylic polymer particles, and cellulose resin, and the weight ratio of water to cement is 40 / 100-60 / 100. A grout material for underwater construction in which the weight ratio of the polymer particles is 1/400 to 1/100 and the weight ratio of the cellulose resin to water is 1/1000 to 1/100 is described. .

JP 2004-284930 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-073392 JP 2007-261721 A

  As described above, it is not practical to assemble a formwork in a submerged cavity and place underwater concrete. Then, the inventors of this application considered constructing | assembling a pillar in water using the cement-type hardened | cured material which has high thixotropic property as shown by patent document 1. FIG.

  However, although the cement cured product having thixotropy generally has some inseparability in water, a conventional grout material is not necessarily sufficient to construct a column in water.

  The present invention has been developed based on the background as described above, and a method for constructing an underwater column capable of constructing a column having a required strength by using a cement-based cured product in water without forming a formwork and An object of the present invention is to provide a cement-based cured product for underwater construction that can be used in the construction method.

  A method for constructing an underwater column according to claim 1 of the present application is a method for constructing a column in water by using a cement-based cured product having underwater inseparability and thixotropy, and a tip of a hose or pipe connected to a pump. The portion of the cemented cured product is gradually pulled up while the cemented cured product pumped by the pump is discharged from the end of the hose or pipe while gradually lifting the hose or pipe. It is characterized by constructing.

  By using a cement-based hardened material with thixotropic properties, the viscosity of the cement-based hardened material decreases under pressure and exhibits high fluidity, so it can be pumped over long distances with a pump and is relatively thin. It can be made to discharge to the limited range from the front-end | tip part of a hose or a pipe.

  In addition, the thixotropic cement-based cured product discharged from the tip of the hose or pipe to a limited area is almost free to disperse in water because the viscosity is increased and the fluidity is lost when the pressure is released. It is possible to form a column made of cement-based cured material in water by discharging the cement-based cured product having thixotropy while gradually accumulating to the bottom of the water and gradually pulling up the hose or pipe.

  In addition, since it is in water, it is in the state which applied the water pressure instead of atmospheric pressure, and it is necessary to adjust the cement-type hardened | cured material which has thixotropic property to the mixing | blending according to a water pressure.

  Claim 2 is the construction method of the underwater column according to claim 1, wherein a core material is installed in advance at the column construction position, and the cement-based cured product is discharged along the core material, and the cement-based cured product and the core are discharged. It is characterized by constructing a pillar with integrated materials.

  Cementitious cured product with thixotropy is discharged from the tip of the hose or pipe to a limited range, and when the pressure is released, the viscosity increases and loses fluidity, but it is in an uncured state If the hose or pipe is simply lifted and discharged, it expands to some extent due to water pressure, and the lower cross section becomes larger, and the cross section becomes smaller as it goes upward.

  If the height of the cavities and pillars is low, this is not a problem, but if the height of the cavities and pillars is high, a core material is installed in advance at the column construction position, and the cemented hardened material is placed along the core material. The column cross section can be reduced by discharging and building the column while integrating the cement-based cured product and the core material. The core material can also be used as a reinforcing material for a cement-based cured product.

  The material and shape of the core material are not particularly limited, and those having irregularities or protrusions can be used so as to be easily integrated with the cement-based cured product. In addition, it is not intended to exclude a formwork as a core material, but in that case, it is not necessary to assemble and seal it like a concrete formwork, for example, a cylinder having a large number of gaps. Those that can be easily installed in water are preferred.

  A third aspect of the present invention is the method for constructing an underwater column according to the first or second aspect, wherein the core material is a reinforcing bar rod.

  When the core material is a reinforcing steel rod, by discharging a cement-based cured product having thixotropy to the inside of the reinforcing rod, the cross section of the column can be defined to some extent by the reinforcing rod. High column strength can be secured.

  Claim 4 is the method for constructing an underwater column according to claims 1 to 3, wherein the cement-based cured product includes at least cement, water, silica fume, and an underwater inseparable admixture. It is characterized by being.

  Cementitious hardened materials having thixotropic properties generally have a certain degree of water inseparability in themselves, but in order to build pillars in water, they are inseparable in water higher than those used in the air. Is required.

  For this purpose, as well as cement and water, in addition to silica fume, which can be expected to have high thixotropy, it is a non-separable admixture in water, and a high-performance water reducing agent to improve fluidity if necessary. It is preferable to blend an appropriate amount.

  The cement-based cured product for underwater construction according to claim 5 of the present application is a cement-based cured product including cement, water, silica fume, and an underwater non-separable admixture, and 70 to 150 g of the silica fume. / L, 1.5 to 3.5 g / l of the water-inseparable admixture is mixed.

  Silica fume greatly contributes to imparting thixotropy. When the silica fume is less than 70 g / l, there is a possibility that sufficient thixotropy as a cement-based cured product for underwater construction cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 150 g / l, the viscosity becomes too high and the filling property may be lowered.

  Examples of the non-separable admixture in water include commercially available products such as “Asuka Clean” and “Pacific Elcon”. If it is less than 1.5 g / l, the inseparability in water may be insufficient as a cement-based cured product for underwater construction. When it is more than 3.5 g / l, the viscosity becomes too high and the filling property may be lowered.

  In addition, if necessary, an appropriate amount of a high-performance water reducing agent is used to improve the fluidity. However, if the amount is too large, the fluidity becomes too high, and the pillars to be built may not be able to stand by themselves.

  A sixth aspect of the present invention is the cement-based cured product for underwater construction according to the fifth aspect, further comprising bentonite.

  Bentonite contributes to imparting thixotropy, but unlike the case of a dry environment, the present invention is an underwater environment, so the amount of silica fume can be reduced by blending bentonite, which is relatively low in cost. Can be suppressed. When the blending amount increases, there is a possibility that the strength is lowered. Therefore, the blending amount when blending is appropriately within about 50 g / l.

  A seventh aspect of the present invention is the cement-based cured product for underwater construction according to the fifth or sixth aspect, further comprising a reinforcing fiber.

  The reinforcing fiber is mainly expected to have a reinforcing effect on the shear after curing. The material is not particularly limited, but polyamide resin fibers (nylon fibers) are relatively inexpensive and easy to handle.

  In addition, in the cement-based cured product for underwater construction of the present invention, swellability can be activated by blending an appropriate amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate as an admixture.

  Moreover, the self-sustainability in water can be improved by mix | blending an appropriate amount of foaming agents, and reducing specific gravity.

  Further, in order to improve the strength, an appropriate amount of blast furnace slag fine powder or anhydrous gypsum may be blended as an admixture.

  According to the construction method of the present invention, it is possible to construct a pillar that can stand on its own without almost separating the cement-based cured product in water.

  Further, when the construction method of the present invention is used for preventing collapse of a cavity formed by mining or the like, the material used and the work space can be reduced in the submerged cavity, leading to cost reduction.

  A cement-based cured product having high thixotropy can be sent in a large amount with a small pump, and the sent material can be self-supported at the end of the cylinder.

  Further, the cement-based cured product for underwater construction of the present invention can sufficiently exhibit the effect of thixotropy even in water, and is a material suitable for a method for constructing an underwater column.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which collapse of a cavity is prevented by constructing an underwater column by a construction method of the present invention in a submerged cavity made by quarrying, according to the following procedure. Construction can be performed.

(1) Drill holes 3 in the ground 2 (see Fig. 1 (a)) above the cavity 1 after mining (see Fig. 1 (b)).

(2) Reinforcing bar 4 as a core material is inserted from hole 3 and is rooted in ground 5 below cavity 1 (see FIG. 1 (c)).

(3) Next, the hose 7 connected to the pump 6 is lowered to the lower end of the reinforcing bar 4 (see FIG. 1 (d)).

(4) The cemented hardened material 8 of the present invention having thixotropy is driven by the pump 6 (see FIG. 1 (e)), and the hose 7 is gradually pulled up to complete the pillar 9 (FIG. 1 (f )reference).

  The above embodiment is intended to reinforce a submerged cavity by an underwater column. However, the method for constructing an underwater column of the present invention is not limited to this, and a cement-based hardening having a predetermined strength in water. It can be applied to general construction when building pillars of objects.

  Next, the test regarding the cement-type hardened | cured material for underwater construction of this invention and its result are demonstrated.

[Study Summary]
Cementitious cured product with thixotropic property itself has some inseparability in water, but as it is, it is judged that it is insufficient for construction of underwater pillars, and an inseparable admixture in water is mixed. In particular, it was investigated whether an underwater column could be constructed using the material of the present invention. In addition, water pollution was suppressed.

[Materials used]
Table 1 shows the materials used, physical properties, and purpose of the test.

  It is mainly silica fume, bentonite, sodium carbonate, etc. that are involved in the improvement of thixotropy. The idea about thixotropy is basically the same as in Patent Document 1, but the present invention is an underwater environment, unlike the case of a dry environment, and therefore, by using bentonite, which is relatively low in cost, silica is used. The amount of fume can be reduced.

  In order to adapt to the underwater environment, an underwater inseparable admixture was used.

  The foaming agent is mainly intended to lower the specific gravity. Considering the independence in water, it is blended because it is advantageous that the specific gravity of the cement-based cured product is smaller.

  In addition, the effect of each material corresponds to the physical properties and intended use shown in Table 1.

[Composition conditions]
The blending conditions are shown in Table 2. The water powder ratio was 34%, and the fiber (polyamide resin fiber = nylon fiber) mixing ratio was 0.1% of the total volume ratio. Moreover, P in Table 2 represents (C + SF + BS + AG).

(NA ⁺ is the molar amount of sodium ion in CN)

〔Test items〕
Table 3 shows the test items and target values.

The mortar flow test is performed according to “JIS R 5201-1997 Physical Test Method for Cement”. Pack the kneaded mortar with a dry cloth and pack it in two layers on a flow cone placed in the center on the flow table.
Each layer is struck 15 times over the front surface so that the tip of the stake is about half the depth of the layer, and finally the surface is made up of the shortage. Immediately after removing the flow cone correctly upward, the flow cone was measured in the direction in which the diameter after the mortar spread was maximum and in the direction perpendicular thereto, and the average value was defined as the zero stroke flow value. Thereafter, 15 falling motions were given in 15 seconds, and the diameter after the mortar spread was measured in the direction in which the diameter was maximum and the direction perpendicular thereto, and the average value was defined as the 15-stroke flow value.

  In addition, the tube tip 0 flow value is performed on the cured material after being pumped by a pump. That is, the mortar flow test described above was performed on the cured material after being pumped by a pump, and the 0 stroke flow value was set to the cylinder tip 0 stroke flow value and the 15 stroke flow value was set to the cylinder tip 15 stroke flow value.

  The reason for setting the target value of the zero stroke flow value to 115 mm or less is that if it is larger than that, the fluidity increases and the inseparability in water decreases. However, the target value here is used as a standard in the test, and the present invention is not limited to this (the same applies to other test items).

Also, the reason why the flow value of 15 strokes is set to 125 ± 5 mm is that if it is too small, the fluidity is low and the filling property is lowered, and if it is too large, the fluidity is increased and the inseparability in water is lowered. It is.

  The reason why the target value of the pipe tip zero stroke flow value is set to 115 mm or less is that if it is larger than that, the fluidity increases and the inseparability in water decreases. Moreover, the reason why the cylinder tip 15 shot flow value is set to 145 ± 5 mm is that if it is too small, the fluidity is low and the filling property is lowered, and if it is too large, the fluidity is increased and the inseparability in water is lowered. is there.

  As described in Patent Document 1, the pressure JP funnel flow-down time is stored in a sealed container, and the prepared cement-based hardened material is filled into the JP funnel with the outlet at the tip exposed from the sealed container. The flow time until the cement-based hardened material in the JP funnel completely flows down from the outlet of the funnel when compressed air is sent into the sealed container and a pressure of 0.1 MPa is applied from the atmospheric pressure state. is there.

  As described above, the invention described in Patent Document 1 is directed to a grout material filled in a sheath for a PC steel material used for introducing prestress, and a pressure of 0.1 MPa is applied. However, in the present invention premised on use in water, the target value was set to 40 seconds or less within a range in which separation in water is difficult to occur. In a large-scale model experiment, it has been confirmed that pumping can be performed without applying an excessive load to the pump within 40 seconds or less.

  The underwater self-supporting test was a reduced model in which rebar rods were placed in a water tank, and the cemented hardened material was filled from the bottom to the top of the rebar rods, and the formation of underwater pillars was confirmed visually.

〔Test results〕
The test results are shown in Table 4.

  As a result of the test, it was found that the column can be sufficiently constructed in water according to the present invention. In the present invention, a reinforcing bar is used, but it has been confirmed that a pillar can be constructed without using a reinforcing bar. Moreover, since it has sufficient performance in terms of strength, its practicality is very high.

It is sectional drawing which shows the construction procedure in one Embodiment in the case of preventing collapse of a cavity by constructing an underwater pillar by the construction method of this invention in the submerged cavity made by quarrying.
